Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on
tubeless rims.
The bead will not seat and the tyres
could slip on the rims, causing rapid
tyre deflation that may result in a loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tyre. This will cause friction
inside the tyre and the resulting heat
build-up may cause the tube to burst
resulting in rapid tyre deflation, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Typical Tyre Marking - Tubeless Tyre
Wheel Marking - Tubeless Wheel
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels
and with tyres marked TUBE TYPE.
Some brands of approved tyre marked
TUBELESS may be suitable for use with
an inner tube. Where this is the case,
the tyre wall will be marked with text
permitting the fitment of an inner tube
(see illustration below).
Use of an inner tube with a tyre
marked TUBELESS, and NOT marked as
suitable for use with an inner tube, or
use of an inner tube on an alloy wheel
marked SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS
TYRES will cause deflation of the tyre
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
